The establishment of Perth’s museum collections coincided with a period of rapid British Imperial expansion. As people from Perth & Kinross emigrated or travelled to capitalise on the opportunities presented to them by an expanding Empire, they sent or brought back evidence of their interactions with other cultures and societies.Many worked for The Honourable British East India Company; a private trading company which controlled huge areas of the Indian sub-continent and exploited ‘market opportunities’ through invasion, coercion, and advantageous alliances. This tour explores some of the activities of the East India Company through the lens of the museum collections on display at Perth Museum.
Tours starting at 11 AM, 12 PM, 1.30 PM and 2.30 PM
